Standard practice for *real* journalism is to spell out the acronym the first time it is used in an article (or document), and then use the abbreviated version afterward; e.g., “Downloadable content (DLC).” This practice did not originate in your lifetime (nor mine, and I’d venture a guess that I’m at least a decade older than you are), but can be traced back to at least the American Civil War.

someone buys a new game for 60 bucks , they trade it to game stop a day later for 35 ( 15 bucks if its older than let say 30 days) bucks in credit that they use towards another title. Gamestop then puts that game right next to the new one for the low low price of 57 to 55 dollars ( ive seen it). You have stupid people and stupid parents that see the title buys the cheaper game and then are unhappy when all the stuff that came with the new game cost them an extra 15 to 20 dollars.

Now i know they sell used games for less than 55 dollars but that is another scenario.

yeah tell that to the publishers, they already got paid for the online play seat but they want to charge the person who is buying it used again, even though the original buyer no longer owns the game.
